Key Ingredients & Notes

Granola

Granola forms the crunchy base of these cups. A chunky granola with oats and nuts works best because it binds together while baking and creates sturdy cups.

Oats are rich in soluble fiber and help keep snacks satisfying. According to Healthline, oats support heart health and help maintain steady energy levels throughout the day.

For the best texture, homemade granola works beautifully. If you enjoy making your own, you can use the technique from our Easy Homemade Granola Recipe, which creates perfectly crisp clusters that hold their shape when pressed into muffin cups.

Amount:
2 cups (180 g)

Honey or Maple Syrup

Honey helps bind the granola mixture and adds natural sweetness. When heated during baking it caramelizes slightly and helps the cups hold their structure.

Maple syrup works equally well and provides a deeper flavor while keeping the recipe plant based.

Amount:
¼ cup (85 g)

Coconut Oil

Melted coconut oil helps the granola crisp while baking and contributes to the sturdy structure of the cups.

You can substitute melted butter or avocado oil if preferred.

Amount:
2 tablespoons (28 g)

Vanilla Extract

A small amount of vanilla enhances the sweetness of the granola and adds warm aroma.

Amount:
1 teaspoon (5 ml)

Greek Yogurt

Thick Greek yogurt creates a creamy filling that freezes beautifully. It also adds protein and richness, making the cups satisfying enough for breakfast or snack time.

Greek yogurt contains probiotics that support digestive health, as explained in several nutrition guides from BBC Good Food.

Amount:
2 cups (480 g)

Fresh Berries

Fresh berries provide natural sweetness, color, and refreshing flavor.

The best combinations include:

• strawberries
• blueberries
• raspberries
• blackberries

Mixing several berries creates a beautiful color contrast and vibrant presentation.

For another fruit forward breakfast idea, our Berry Yogurt Parfait Recipe uses similar ingredients layered into a creamy, crunchy morning treat.

Amount:
1 to 1½ cups (150 to 220 g)

Optional Toppings

You can customize the cups with extra toppings for texture and flavor.

Popular additions include:

• shredded coconut
• chopped almonds
• pistachios
• mini chocolate chips
• chia seeds

Ingredient guides from The Spruce Eats show that combining berries with nuts or coconut enhances both flavor and nutritional balance.

How to Make Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups with Berries

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray or use silicone muffin molds for easier removal.

2. Prepare the Granola Mixture

In a large bowl combine:

• 2 cups granola (180 g)
• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup (85 g)
• 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (28 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)

Mix until the granola is evenly coated and slightly sticky.

3. Form the Granola Cups

Divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups.

Press the granola firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a bowl shape.

Using the back of a spoon or a small glass helps compact the mixture evenly.

4. Bake the Cups

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the granola edges turn golden brown.

You should smell a lightly toasted oat aroma when they are ready.

Allow the cups to cool completely in the pan for 15 minutes.

Once cooled, gently remove them from the muffin pan.

5. Fill with Yogurt

Spoon thick Greek yogurt into each granola cup.

Fill nearly to the top while leaving space for berries.

6. Add Berries

Top each cup with a mix of fresh berries.

Press them gently into the yogurt so they stay in place during freezing.

7. Freeze

Place the filled cups on a tray and freeze for 2 to 3 hours until the yogurt is firm.

8. Serve

Allow the cups to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving so the yogurt softens slightly.

Enjoy immediately.

Pro Tips for Success

Use thick yogurt
Greek yogurt works best because its lower moisture prevents icy texture when frozen.

Press granola firmly
Tightly packed granola creates cups that hold together better.

Let the cups cool completely
Granola firms up as it cools. Removing them too early can cause crumbling.

Use silicone muffin molds
These make removing the cups much easier.

Freeze on a flat tray
Keeping the cups level ensures the yogurt filling freezes evenly.

Add berries last
This keeps their color bright and prevents them from sinking.

Serve slightly softened
Five minutes at room temperature creates the perfect creamy texture.

Variations & Substitutions

Dairy Free Version

Use coconut yogurt or almond yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.

Chocolate Berry Cups

Add mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted dark chocolate over the frozen cups.

Tropical Version

Top with mango cubes, pineapple, and toasted coconut.

High Protein Option

Stir 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder into the yogurt before filling the cups.

Nut Free Version

Choose nut free granola and avoid nut toppings.

Serving & Storage

Serving Ideas

Serve Frozen Yogurt Granola Cups:

• as a healthy summer dessert

Refrigeration

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days if you prefer a softer yogurt texture.

Freezing

Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month.
